Abstract: The present invention relates to a prosthetic device including a prosthetic joint which accurately transitions between a loose mode and a stiff mode to more accurately mimic a human gait. The prosthetic joint includes a state controller which utilizes a sensor to detect prosthetic joint movement data, and compares it with prosthetic joint movement decision values to determine when a solenoid should be energized to place the prosthetic joint in the loose mode. An optimization unit connects to the prosthetic joint in a prosthetic joint system. The optimization unit generates a plurality of data files containing prosthetic joint movement data corresponding to an amputee walking without stumbling. By iteratively analyzing the prosthetic joint movement data, the optimization unit adjusts the prosthetic joint movement decision values to ensure that the prosthetic joint does not prematurely enter a stumble recovery state.

Abstract: In various service-oriented sectors, particularly dining and retail, fraudulent schemes frequently referred to as skimming are encountered. The mandatory deployment of a government-authorized sales recording module (SRM) to counteract the effects of sales suppression devices bridges the legislative and enforcement challenges of tax compatibility. Coercing a switch to SRM-compatible checkout systems might be fiscally advantageous, but is logistically and commercially onerous to owners and checkout systems developers. The overlapping and occasionally divergent interests of the public, government tax authorities, merchants, and checkout systems providers must be more carefully considered. Various embodiments of the present invention, implemented as middleware, achieve this by proposing an SRM-compatible solution that is as easy to apply to existing solutions as it is rapid to deploy.
